As it's going to be boosted something with short trumpets to a log manifold would be ok, I know it's not difficult to make one but I'd rather buy one if it's reasonably priced.
Alternate M50 inlet manifold (Turbo S/C)
Moderator: martauto
Are any alternate inlet manifolds on the market? I think my supercharger maybe a bit conspicuous hanging out the bonnet!

I might have just found a solution!
Someone's chopped the runners down and used silicon hose reducing in size, as long as it seals it'd be ideal, so I can use the standard throttle etc. and the "bad design" is largely irrelevent as it's for a boosted application, what do you guys think?

Wonder if that would do anything to alter the performance of the engine?ShonkyBob wrote:I might have just found a solution!

would certainly do away with needing to change the servo

leave the charger hanging out the bonnet and put a clutch on the pulley, then you can pretend you are mad max.
'88 e30 328i M52 track bint.
I can understand low torque would be affected in N/A guise but would it be bad when boosted?nickso wrote:thats what i thought.E30BeemerLad wrote:shorter inlet tracts usually destroy low end grunt as far as i know mate
